You don’t know who you are until you’re threatened.
Arcanists are born with the ability to manipulate reality with their spellcraft, their existence a closely guarded secret; they're among the most dangerous people on the planet, and rogues some of the worst.

I love urban fantasy. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find unique and genuinely engaging books in the genre. On the other hand, the same is true for most of the literary fiction.
Spicing the reality with magic and supernatural occurrences resonate with me since childhood. I'll be first in line to get Peace Talks once it's done. In the meantime, I regularly try new UF titles.

Fantastic first novel
Fantastic start to a series! I love the character and world building that Mr. Brenik has done with this story, just the right amount. Fantastic editing work, no mistakes or awkward spots you'll see in some.
All in all, I'm looking forward to more Nick Teller! ...more

DISCLAIMER - I know the author and was one of the beta readers for this novel.
I absolutely loved this debut novel - I haven’t personally read much urban fantasy, except for The Dresden Files, so can not really compare to other books within this genre. Regardless, I could not put this book down, the end of each chapter left me wanting more. The action is quick paced, well described and cinematic.
So, if you like action, dogs and magic then I strongly suggest you read this novel.

Liked it
Liked it, would like to read a sequel, decent characters, good storyline, entertaining, pretty stereotypical urban fantasy, no major gripes, but nothing outstanding either.

I really enjoyed this book and I hope it’s the beginning of a long series. Well written with awesome action and great plot to boot. I can’t wait for the next one.

Had promise, but the delivery was a killer for me. Much, too much, detail. I was forcing myself to read, and without enjoyment.
On par with the best of Butcher
Very fun novel set in the most arcane of cities. Certainly a great origin story, and something to anticipate greatly.
